Where to Send Kids for Summer Camp

Hello All,
I am looking for a camp to send two of my children for a week or so this summer. I have a 9 year old boy and a 13 year old girl. I would like to send them to the same camp at the same time, but am having a hard time finding one. In the past two of our three children have been to Springhill camp, but the cost has gone up about a $70 a week (5 days), so I am looking for something more reasonable. Any suggestion? My son likes sports and my daughter likes dance and drama or art.

If you are in Oakland County, contact Youth Assistance in your school district. They help send kids to camp based on the parent's income level. www.oakgov.com/circuit/division_committee/youth-assistanc...

As for the actual camps take a look at-
Oakland Couty www.oakgov.com

I have heard good things about Copneconic in Fenton, too. www.campcopneconic.org/

Good luck!

Try Fa-ho-lo in Grass Lake, MI. My kids love it there.

I just saw that Metro Parent has a special "Camp Edition" you should definitely pick one up!

try the YMCA. They used to have programs that you could drop them off at the Birmingham location and they would bus the kids to the camp in Fenton. I cant remember what the name of the camp.
